Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 16.3% below the 2007 sale of £135,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 25.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
